Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-05 21:32 – Updated: 2026-06-05 21:32

Details

Because the readable files include the server's master configuration, which stores credentials for privileged accounts, exploitation can lead to authenticating as a system administrator and gaining full control of the server. Altium 365 cloud deployments are not affected.

Severity

9.4 (Critical)

CVE-2026-11423 (GCVE-0-2026-11423)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-06-05 20:12 – Updated: 2026-06-08 13:10

Title

Path Traversal in Altium Enterprise Server Collaboration Service Allows Privilege Escalation

Summary

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the Altium Enterprise Server Collaboration Service due to improper handling of user-supplied filenames in the MCAD and Simulation file download flows. A regular authenticated user can submit a collaboration message containing a crafted filename, which is later used to construct the download path on the server without validation, allowing arbitrary files to be read from the server filesystem. Because the readable files include the server's master configuration, which stores credentials for privileged accounts, exploitation can lead to authenticating as a system administrator and gaining full control of the server. Altium 365 cloud deployments are not affected.

Severity

9.4 (Critical)
